CROW RESERVATION LEASE.

The secretary OF the interior has at last
decided the question in regard to the lease
of the Crow reservation, granting the
tribe authority to do so in accordance with
the instructions of the department. In
1884 an effort was made by Colorado out
fit to lease 2, 900. 900 acres in the western
portion of the Grow reserve for $4,000 a
wear and but for the hubbub raised by the
press and people Of Montana the scheme
would have been consummated. The OBJ
lection to this arrangement was that the
best grazing portion of the reserve would
fall into the hands of the cattle syndicate
who would hold it for a long term, to the
exclusion of all others, while the prospect
for the opening of the reservation or any
portion Of it, under these circumstances,
would be exceedingly slim. Out of this
agitation, however, grew the present ar
rangement which is more acceptable to
the people of the territory and better for
the Indians, in that the pasture lands are
open to any one who may wish to lease
them at an annual rental per head. It is
not an immense monopoly, as the Colora-
do party sought to create. The following,
in brief, are the terms stipulated by the
department:
The agent may issue permits to parties
whom he knows to be reliable to take cat
tie upon such lands of the Crow reserva-
ton as may be designated, at the follow
ing rates per head: Horses and cattle, so
cents per annum; sheep and goats, II
cents per annum. The agent shall also fix
a reasonable sum per head upon all stock
as toll during the transit of such stock
across the reservation, and shall fix the
average number of days which the herd
may consume in crossing the reservation
from one range to another. Herds for
which grazing is hired shall be kept suf-
ficiently remote from Indian lands that
no injury shall be done to cultivated
crops.
The obiectional features are thus remov-
ed and one stockman has the same rights
as another and there is no bar to the open
ing of the reservation when congress in
it's wisdom sees fit to do so. The press
and settlers of the Yellowstone country
offer no objection to this arrangement, but
on the other hand accept it as the best pos
sible conclusion ef the whole matter.

ARTEsIAN WELLS.

At YanktOn, Oak, an arteslan Well was
recently opened which is said to be the
largest in the United States, flowing 2,5O0
gallons Of water minute under pres
sure of 65 pounds to the square inch. AT
jamestown in the same territory, as well
as elsewhere, fine wells have been secured
and there is pleasing prospect that Dako-
ia will be greatly benefited by wells OF
this class, as it is now fully demonstrated
that flowing water can be secured any
where almost by boring for it. So far as
the experiment has been tried IN Montana
success has attended all efforts. Several
fine wells have been secured at Miles City
by boring but a few hundred feet and
there is no reason to doubt but the same
results would follow at any point III north
ern Montana. We have here some OF the
richest uplands in the world and with ar
tesian wells to supply water unfalllngly
they will make the best stock farms in
Montana or elsewhere. Many of our cltl-
zens are the owners of valuable (if they
had water) uplands in this vicinity and
the RIVER PRESS would be pleased to see
some one, or company, try the expert
ment of boring an artesian well. With
the improved machinery and appliances
now in use the cost would not be great,
while the benefit, if the enterprise should
be successful, would be incalculable. 1t
would result in hundreds of such wells be-
ing sunk and thus promote as nothing else
could the development of this section.

ALTHOUGH the wool clip is slow in
reaching this market the present season,
on account of the delay in shearing, the
bad roads and high waters, as well as the
scarcity of transportation, still it will all
arrive in ample time to 60 out by the river
if it is the wish Of the owner or purchaser
that it should go to market in that way.
The stage of water is better now, almost
the first day Of July, than it was at any
time last season and there is every assur-
ance that there will be good boating to
Fort Benton until September 1st and we
would not be surprised if steamboats,
should enter this port as late as the be-
ginning of November. There is still a
vast reserve of snow in the mountains and
the hot days of next month will serve to
increase rather than decrease the volume
of water in the river. This is encouraging
to the wool growers Of northern Montana
and in measure compensates for the de-
lays and annoyances of the season thus far.
There is not the least danger that they
will get left for we have the railroad as
we'll as a bank-full river to depend on this
year.

A MILES CITY special to the Indepen-
dent gives the following review of the
stock situation in that section, which, to
say the least, is not very encouraging :
'Three of the principal round-ups are
within ten miles of this city. From what
can be learned from the principal repre-
sentatives of the outfits interested in the
round-ups, the losses will not exceed fifty
per cent, although some of the outfits
have lost much larger percentage. She
cattle and bulls are almost entirely wiped
out, and the calves branded will not ex-
ceed one in ten Of last springs roundup.
Native steers are reported all right, the
percentage of loss being under ten. The
roundup will move to-day and the sea-
sons work will be ended in two weeks. .

TBr 1oth,r;aoa News of the 10Th inst.

THE Lethbridge News of the 10th inst.
contains an account OF the closing down OF
the coal mines at that place and the con-
sequent discharge of several hundred men
who have been in the service of the n. w.
10. & N. Co, 1t is the old story Of strike
ordered by the miners union, an organl-
zation recently formed at that place, and
apparently for no very Welghty cause.
Last spring when the snow blockade had
thrown the company back in their contract
with the C. P. r. and they were required
to get out a large amount OF coal, de-
mand was made for an advance of fifteen
cents a ton which was in the main acceded
to: then the union demanded the reinstate-
ment of a man who had been discharged
for taking tolls that did not belong to him !;
then miner who refused to obey the
rules Of the association had to be discharg-
ed. All of these demands were complied
with, but when the association came for
ward on the 18th inst. and demanded that
several men be discharged for getting out
over three tons of coal in one day, that be-
ing the li,ni- fix a by the ASSOCIATION for a
days work--.no company protested and
refused to accede to the demand. The re-
suit OF the disagreement was the closing
down of the mines. The saw mills and
all other enterprises in connection with
the mines have also been closed and the
miners are notified to vacate the cot
tages occupied by them and owned by the
company. Thus all is chaos at Lethbrige.
An entire new force will be brought from
the east to replace the old and it will be
several weeks at least before the mines
will be in operation again. The strikers
will be the chief sufferers and the case
shows the folly OF associations making
common cause upon SO slight an injury.

A ST. PAUL special says: "Indian Agent
Pocklington has telegraphed to Regina an
nouncing the successful mission Of Cana
dian deputation to Montana, to recover
one hundred horses stolen from Red Crow,
chief Of the Bloods, by party Of Gros
ventres," Agent PockliDgton is a three
ply prevaricator. He only recovered thirty
five head of cayuses at Fort Belknap, but
we do not see and have not seen a word
said about returning the hundreds of
horses stolen by Bloods from settlers
on this side of the line.

WE learn from Maple Creek letter to
the Livestock Journal written by Mr.. A.
B. Keeler, who is canvassing for that
journal in the Northwest territories, that
the herd of cattle belonging to Samuel
Spencer of this county which he drove
north last year, was seized by the collector
of customs on account of some irregulari-
ty or alleged violation of the custom laws,
and sold on the 10th. The number gath
cred and thus appropriated was 1876 head
and the officers were still rounding ug.
We do not know the particulars
of the case, but this seems like
a high-hanaed and outrageous affair. Mr..
Spencer Isl good man and ciizen and
would readily comply with the laws if he
understood their provisions. We trust he
will be able to recover his stock.

THE snring wheat area has been enlarg-

THE spring wheat area has been enlarg-
ed 6 per cent. from increase of immigra-
ton and farm-making west of the Missis-
sippi, in the districts traversed by the
Northern Pacific railroad Most of the
increase is in Dakota, where an incre-
ment of 81 per cent. is reported. The
percentages compared with last year are
Wisconsin, 90; Minnesota, l02; Iowa, 101 ];
Nebraska, 90; Dakota, 124; Montana, 10; !;
Idaho. lis. This is the report of the de-
partment of agriculture. Evidently few,
if any, reliable reports are received from
Montana or the percentage would be at
least 800 as compared with last year.

THE Herald is out in very severe arti-
Gle on Chief Justice Mcconnell because of
his selection of Jas. S. Keerl as chief clerk
of the third district court, contrary to the
wishes and petetions of the democracy of
the capital. Another gentleman was gen.
orally endorsed for the position and
doubtless Judge Mcconnell had his rea-
sons for not appointing him. How well
grounded these reasons may have been we
can not say, but they are sufficient in the
estimation of the chief justice, and that
ought to be enough. The appointment
is entirely in his hands and as he is in a
manner responsible for the conduct of his
clerk he ought to have the privilege ofap-
pointing whom he pleases. That Judge
Mcconnell said or did the foolish things
that are ascribed to him by the Herald we
do not believe for moment. He has too
much sense and good judgment to be
guilty as charged in the Herald indict-
ment. While here Judge Mcconnell
made very favorable impression and
won golden opinions as jurist and law
yer. 1t is quite certain that the matter o f
the appointment of clerk in accordance
with his own notions and the proprieties
of the case will not injure him in the
least at Fort Benton and the chances are
it will not anywhere else.

THE Union Stock yards at Chicago is
evidently afraid of the "Cattle Trust"
judging by the onslaught made upon it.
A marked copy Of the Livestock Review
has just been received at this office in
which the Trust concern is handled
without gloves. The following is spec
linen: "The secrecy enveloping the
movements and designs Of the Seattle
Trust" certainly justiies the public in
regarding the combination with suspicion.
Beyond the fact that such concern has
actually been organized, and a few big
cattle owners and a Chicago dressed beef
man are at the bottom of it, nothing is
known. Under these circumstances, to
assume that the western cattle men will
without long and cool deliberation turn
their cattle over to the tender mercies Of
the combine is reflection upon their in
telligence.n

WHEN the end of the Manitoba track APP

IA dfstSRce that will be readily covered j.,
one Haonth) there will be a large amount
of travel to this portion of Montana and
Fort Benton being the first town reached
after the crossing of the reservation will
be largely benefited by this travel. BY
the time the end of the track reaches Fort
Belknap we expect to see, not one but
many, daily stage lines operating from
the end of the track TO Benton and on
west. Already the country from Devils
lake to Buford is filling up with people
and there will be even bigger rush to
this portion of Montana. As the reserva-
ton prevents any settlement for distance
of 400 miles from Fort Buford to the Ma
rias, Benton is on the border of the
promised land" and will receive the
greatest share of benefit from the advance
both of the army of workmen and those
that succeed them looking for investments
or lands upon which to settle and build
up homes.
